JDS SAYINGS OF THE WEEK

Starting in late 1993, I ended each show (after the closing song, Andy & Terry Murray’s “Treasures For The Road”, played) with these sayings, written by my sister.  I usually teased the topic of the saying with 2 key words.

—

Used, but date not noted:
“If you don’t have any fun in your life, you’re not living life to it’s fullest.”
“Winning isn’t everything; sometimes you have to lose to find out what’s best for you.”
“The best Valentine’s wish isn’t a wish at all. It’s a simple phrase: I love you.”
“Life’s a puzzle that’s never finished.”
“The wind whistling through the trees is a sign the world is still alive.”
“When life throws a curve ball, all you can do is hit it.”
“Pain in life is unavoidable.”
“Reality is the hardest thing to accept in life.”
